Abstract
A calculation of the diamagnetism of graphite including the effects of trigonal warping of the Fermi surfaces has been performed using Fukuyama's formulation of the diamagnetism of Bloch electrons. Inclusion of the trigonal warping increases the diamagnetism by about 13% at low temperatures and reduces it by about 1% at high temperatures. A paramagnetic constant is used to represent all effects not associated with the free carriers. The experimental diamagnetism can be fitted quite well using values of the energy band parameters which give agreement with the de Haas-van Alphen effect, optical absorption, and magnetoreflection experiments.
